OUR BOONE COUNTY
a roadmap to our future
Every five years, the Boone County Planning Commission develops a comprehensive plan to guide the future growth, development and resource management for our community. Throughout the planning process, the team seeks community feedback, through public meetings and surveys, to understand the needs and wants of everyone in our community. All input is considered as we work to deliver a plan which will ensure our community develops into a place where our children and grandchildren want to live, work, and play.
Our BOONE COUNTY:
plan 2045 is boone county’s comprehensive plan
Our plan which lays out the countywide plan for creations of a vibrant Boone County in the coming decades. While aiming to balance development and preservation needs for the cities of Florence, Union, and Walton, as well as the Boone County Fiscal Court, the Plan will articulate Land Use and other recommendations built from public engagement efforts.
The Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) Chapter 100 (state law which requires us to Plan) tells us that the planning process is to begin with a statement of Goals & Objectives. Boone County’s four bodies of elected officials (Florence, Walton, Union, and Fiscal Court) set the direction of the plan through adoption of this unified statement of community values which pertain to the entire County’s population.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
ADOPTION
Once the statement of Goals & Objectives are adopted by the County’s elected officials, the creation of the rest of the Comprehensive Plan can begin. The Comprehensive Plan is required to include (per KRS 100) elements of Land Use, Community Facilities, and Transportation as well as other relevant elements which further serve the purpose of the Plan. The culmination of these Goals & Objectives and subsequent Elements form a document intended to guide public and private actions and decisions to assure the development of public and private property in the most appropriate of relationships.
The final comprehensive Plan (Goals & Objectives + Elements) is adopted by the Boone County Planning Commission (BCPC).
good plans aren’t created in a vacuum.
They work best when they’re built from the ground up — when community members lend their voices and guide their creation.
Our Boone County – Plan 2045 depends on input from the community to shape our shared vision for future. And that’s why the Boone County Planning Commission asks the public to provide input as it updates the Plan.
it’s our boone county. let’s shape our future together.
